Background: Venous leg ulcers (VLUs) are associated with various physical and social adverse effects for patients but also contribute to a significant socioeconomic burden.
Purpose: To examine the clinical performance and safety of a collagen-alginate dressing in combination with standard wound care in non-healing VLUs.
Methods: In an observational, explorative, single-center study, VLUs of 60 patients were covered with a collagen-alginate dressing.

Background: The primary endpoint in diabetes-related foot ulcer (DFU) trials is often time to healing, defined as complete re-epithelialisation with absence of drainage, requiring clinical expert assessment as the gold standard. Central blinded photograph review for confirmation of healing is increasingly being undertaken for internal validity. The Diabetic Foot Ulcer Photography study aims to determine the agreement between blinded independent review panel members for assessing ulcer healing status in patients with DFUs.
